(Not The Bee) Conservatives are up in arms after the news of Hunter Biden’s plea deal broke on Tuesday morning.
Critics of Biden are calling the plea deal a “sweetheart deal” as Hunter Biden is expected to receive no jail time and only two years on probation after pleading guilty to millions of dollars of tax fraud and illegal firearm purchases, while the rest of the crimes on the laptop are ignored.
Here are a few Republicans’ thoughts on the entire debacle.
From Donald Trump Jr:
If you doubt Trump Jr.’s assertion just, for one second, imagine if this was Don Jr.’s laptop we were dealing with instead of Hunter’s.
It tells you everything you need to know.
US senators, representatives, and Republican presidential candidates are chiming in as well:
Any other American would have the book thrown at them. The president’s son gets a slap on the wrist.
This is exhibit 1,402 for why I’m holding Biden’s DOJ nominees.
We have a two-tiered justice system in our country. It’s a disgrace. https://t.co/XD8ZrtTaIM

“It continues to show the two-tier system in America,” says @SpeakerMcCarthy on Hunter Biden’s plea agreement.
“If you are the president’s leading opponent, the DOJ tries to literally put you in jail … if you are the president’s son, you get a sweetheart deal.” pic.twitter.com/8XUUgA0rPn
